Abstract

This chapter reviews current MRI techniques to differentiate stable versus high risk atherosclerosis and discusses the development of non-invasive MR imaging techniques to characterize atherosclerotic plaques. Tissue specific MR signal features will be described according to histo-pathological evaluation standards and comprehensive imaging protocol for the identification of different lesion types will be introduced.
